Autopilot

Sometimes when your brain is on overload, and you're too tired to even do hand quilting, you just need some mindless sewing. I grabbed a bag of cut off triangles that I scooped up/rescued from the garbage at quilt retreat last year and started sewing them together. No thinking was required. My hands know how to do this task even when my brain is on autopilot. Can you guess how many HST's were sewn in that pile?!?You won't believe it! Leave a comment with your estimated number and the closest guess will win a prize...maybe the whole lot of unpressed, untrimmed HST's?!? No...I wouldn't do that to you!

My guess is 187. I based this guess on nothing rational what-so-ever. Mindless is good, but do not lose track of where your fingers are in relation to the needle. For those who like to iron (I don't know anybody in this category) your pile of HSTs would be a great prize.
